During the 1899 outbreak we dipped to +7 degrees in New Orleans on February 14th, Mardi Gras Day of 1899. The Rex route had to be cleared of snow, from the 3 inches that fell, prior to the parade rolling. When I read your last evening&#39;s blog this morning in which you mentioned the -45 to -50 degrees in Alaska and Canada my thoughts went right back to last evening. Not saying that we&#39;re going to get that cold, but it just so happens that Mardi Gras, this year, falls on February 13th. Seems that our coldest weather sometimes occurs during the first two weeks of February. <br /> On a different note, your legacy in this city will be one of kindness and concern in the way that you treated people and genuinely cared for all of us during many severe weather events, post notably Hurricane Katrina. Your legacy will remain with us for many, many years to come. Thank you so much.<br /><br />SteveStevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15258251009334749243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6178879262286835294.post-73183671683372303212018-01-24T10:04:41.777-06:002018-01-24T10:04:41.777-06:00Hi Bob,
As you post this blog and mention the -...Hi Bob,<br /><br /> As you post this blog and mention the -40 and -50 degrees up north, I was searching some New Orleans weather history last evening and came across two interesting events. First, the great New Orleans snowstorm of 1895 that brought 8.2 inches to the downtown area and 10.0 inches to Audubon Park. Second, the great cold outbreak of 1899, when, on February 14th, Mardi Gras Day, we bottomed out at a low of +7 degrees! Before Rex could roll, snow on the route, from the 3 inch snowfall, had to be cleared. Not in any way saying that we&#39;ll get that cold, but it&#39;s interesting that this year, Mardi Gras is February 13th. Here is a link to a story about that outbreak on nola.com <br /><br /> http://www.nola.com/living/index.ssf/2018/01/1899_mississippi_river_froze_ice_new_olreans_0104218.html <br /><br /> And Bob, you have made a monumental mark on our city, which will not fade for many, many, years to come. Thank you for caring and for being there when the city needed you. Bless you.<br /><br />SteveStevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15258251009334749243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6178879262286835294.post-61768406007759004402018-01-19T08:46:21.184-06:002018-01-19T08:46:21.184-06:00&#39;Times are not good here.

It has been buried under a lava flood of taxes and frauds and maladministrations so that it has become only a study for archaeologists. Its condition is so bad that when I write about it, as I intend to do soon, nobody will believe I am telling the truth. But it is better to live here in sackcloth and ashes than to own the whole state of Ohio.&#39;<br />~ Lafcadio Hearn, Inventing New Orleans: 1880sShoeless Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01670030448057180874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6178879262286835294.post-36927605724064863542018-01-19T00:49:16.905-06:002018-01-19T00:49:16.905-06:00Ah yes.
